Out of the 30 women I spoke to via Facebook, Whatsapp or email, these jeans were consistently voted as being the best. And it’s easy to see why. They’re high-waisted, which means they’re super flattering, they’re stretchy, which means they fit a variety of shapes, and they come in many different colours. Topshop’s Jamie jeans have long been a favourite among fashion girls, but the Topshop team continues to improve them each season. Now keep scrolling to find out which other jeans passed the best on the high-street test and why.

Who What Wear’s deputy editor, Emma Spedding loves these Weekday jeans. “These are a good straight-leg jean and go with everything. Even though I ordered them online, they were a great fit. Bonus points for the fact that all Weekday’s jeans are sustainable.”

All Levi’s jeans are perfectly structured and hold their stiffness forever. I’ve bought vintage pairs in the past, which are still in incredible condition, and every pair seems to just get better with age.”  Our readers also agreed with this and voted the Levi Wedgie jeans as being a great pair too.
